What’s the best home-made way to kill cockroaches?
Ok…so I live in an apt where the management has decided to completely ignore the fact that my building is in DESPERATE need of an exterminator. I tried using Raid, live traps, sticky traps…basically everything in the "pest control" section of the store. Nothing worked–the little buggers came back with a vengeance.
Is there a cheap (cuz i’m so sick and tired of spending money to kill these little critters), pet-friendly (i have a dog), home-made way to kill these annoying things?!!
I cannot chaulk or seal up the holes in which they come from since my management has specified that I am not to do as such. So, i need something that I can do pretty much every week until they all die miserable deaths.
HELP ME!

Commonly called Borax and located in the cleaning and laundry additives aisle at your local grocer. Not toxic to your pets (unless they are bugs) and safe around kids. It kills the insects by being sucked into the insects breathing tubes in their abdomen, thus clogging the lungs and suffocating them, most fine powder will do the trick, but boric acid is the least harmful and kills a broad spectrum of bugs.
